Blue Jewels and Gray Haze
Beginning in early spring, brilliant blue ponds form on Greenland’s ice sheets as meltwater gathers in indentations. This satellite image shows the ice east of Nordenskiöld Glacier, which is the tongue of ice projecting on the left side of the image. The center region of ice is darker, marked by soot, ash, and dirt left behind after previous ice layers have melted. These darker remains make the ice less reflective to sunlight; with less reflectivity, the ice absorbs more sunlight, melting faster. (Image credit: M. Garrison/NASA Earth Observatory)

Whorls of Sea Ice
Fresh snow shines white on the southern end of Greenland in this satellite image, taken in late February 2025. Whorls of sea ice sit off the coast, where they trace out patterns that reflect the winds and ocean currents of the region. Arctic sea ice typically reaches its largest extent by early March before experiencing a long season of melting. Both the presence and absence of sea ice have a large effect on the Arctic regions. Sea ice helps dampen wave activity; without it, seas are higher and more dynamic, creating more aerosols that seed cloud cover in the Arctic and elsewhere. (Image credit: L.

Ponding on the Ice Shelf
Glaciers flow together and march out to sea along the Amery Ice Shelf in this satellite image of Antarctica. Three glaciers — flowing from the top, left, and bottom of the image — meet just to the right of center and pass from the continental bedrock onto the ice-covered ocean. The ice shelf is recognizable by its plethora of meltwater ponds, which appear as bright blue areas. Each austral summer, meltwater gathers in low-lying regions on the ice, potentially destabilizing the ice shelf through fracture and drainage. This region near the ice shelf’s grounding line is particularly prone to ponding. Regions further afield (right, beyond the image) are colder and drier, often allowing meltwater to refreeze.

Absolutely stunning #SatelliteImage captured from #NOAA18 today, showing two #lowpressure systems in the #Atlantic. The southern one is barrelling into Southern England overnight, and has been named #StormMathis by #MeteoFrance due to severe impacts expected over northern #France. #weather #meteorology
